nest mini will not connect after factory rest

Hi,

I did a factory reset on my nest mini. When I try to add it using Google Home, Google home cannot detect my mini.  I unplugged the mini for about 5 minutes and still had no success.  The 4 lights on the mini are constantly on.  

 

Please Advise

Let's try these steps:
  1. Unplug the power cord from your speaker, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait until all 4 LED lights on top illuminate.
  2. Repeat step 1 ten more times.
  3. After plugging your speaker back in the final time, you'll need to wait a few moments for the device to reset. It will announce "Welcome to Google Home. To get started, download the Google Home app on a phone or tablet" to let you know that it’s ready for setup.

If you have a 2nd gen Nest Mini, at step 3, after plugging your speaker back in the final time, press the mute button on the back for at least 15 seconds and it will reset.
